12 East 97th Street is a beautiful full-service prewar building in Carnegie Hill. This true 2-bedroom, 1 bath apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is a real find. Fully-renovated, the great apartment has hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, an excellent floor plan and many closets. An abundance of bookcases enhances the feeling that this is a warm and comfortable home. There is a wonderfully functional and attractive state-of-the-art kitchen with adjacent windowed dining area. The kitchen has a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Blue Star gas range with Viking hood, Kitchenaid dishwasher, a farmhouse sink and Caesarstone counters. The bedrooms are on a private hall with bath, which is nicely separated from the living and dining areas. The building has a laundry room, bike room and a common storage room with individually designated storage spaces. The excellent building staff includes a live-in super, full-time doormen, porters and maintenance staff. Pets and washers and dryers are permitted. 12 East 97th Street is half a block from Central Park and the lovely East Meadow along Museum Mile. The reservoir is nearby, as are playgrounds, jogging paths, ball fields and tennis courts. Across the street is the magnificent  St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral with its beautiful onion domes.
